In today's episode, we discuss Providence Supportive Housing and how housing is fundamental to health. Learn about how housing instability is prevalent throughout the West Coast and Providence's goal of creating and developing workforce housing, or the "missing middle", that would be available to households with median-level incomes that can't afford luxury home prices, but are making an income that prices them out of low-income housing, so good and affordable housing is available to all income levels.
Host Carrie Schonwald of Providence speaks with a panel of guests about a bi-directional partnership to make global health impact through service that honors the leadership, expertise, and goals of communities around the world and works to break down the systemic health and resource inequities that are the global legacy of colonialism. You will hear about a partnership that included Seed Global Health, the University of Malawi College of Medicine, and the Swedish Family Medicine residency program with the primary goals of strengthening access to care and increasing the quality of health services. This partnership has been training and educating Malawi family medicine specialists as they develop the first family medicine training program in Malawi.
